# CMakePackageConfigHelpers
# -------------------------
#
# Helpers functions for creating config files that can be included by other
# projects to find and use a package.
#
# Adds the :command:`configure_package_config_file()` and
# :command:`write_basic_package_version_file()` commands.
#
# Generating a Package Configuration File
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#
# .. command:: configure_package_config_file
#
#  Create a config file for a project::
#
#     configure_package_config_file(<input> <output> INSTALL_DESTINATION <path>
#                                                    [PATH_VARS <var1> <var2> ... <varN>]
#                                                    [NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO]
#                                                    [NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO]
#                                                    [INSTALL_PREFIX <path>])
#
#
# ``configure_package_config_file()`` should be used instead of the plain
# :command:`configure_file()` command when creating the ``<Name>Config.cmake``
# or ``<Name>-config.cmake`` file for installing a project or library.  It helps
# making the resulting package relocatable by avoiding hardcoded paths in the
# installed ``Config.cmake`` file.
#
# In a ``FooConfig.cmake`` file there may be code like this to make the install
# destinations know to the using project:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    set(FOO_INCLUDE_DIR   "@CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR@" )
#    set(FOO_DATA_DIR   "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@RELATIVE_DATA_INSTALL_DIR@" )
#    set(FOO_ICONS_DIR   "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/share/icons" )
#    ...logic to determine installedPrefix from the own location...
#    set(FOO_CONFIG_DIR  "${installedPrefix}/@CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR@" )
#
# All 4 options shown above are not sufficient, since the first 3 hardcode the
# absolute directory locations, and the 4th case works only if the logic to
# determine the ``installedPrefix`` is correct, and if ``CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR``
# contains a relative path, which in general cannot be guaranteed.  This has the
# effect that the resulting ``FooConfig.cmake`` file would work poorly under
# Windows and OSX, where users are used to choose the install location of a
# binary package at install time, independent from how
# :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` was set at build/cmake time.
#
# Using ``configure_package_config_file`` helps.  If used correctly, it makes
# the resulting ``FooConfig.cmake`` file relocatable.  Usage:
#
#    1. write a ``FooConfig.cmake.in`` file as you are used to
#    2. insert a line containing only the string ``@PACKAGE_INIT@``
#    3. instead of ``set(FOO_DIR "@SOME_INSTALL_DIR@")``, use
#       ``set(FOO_DIR "@PACKAGE_SOME_INSTALL_DIR@")`` (this must be after the
#       ``@PACKAGE_INIT@`` line)
#    4. instead of using the normal :command:`configure_file()`, use
#       ``configure_package_config_file()``
#
#
#
# The ``<input>`` and ``<output>`` arguments are the input and output file, the
# same way as in :command:`configure_file()`.
#
# The ``<path>`` given to ``INSTALL_DESTINATION`` must be the destination where
# the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file will be installed to.  This path can either be
# absolute, or relative to the ``INSTALL_PREFIX`` path.
#
# The variables ``<var1>`` to ``<varN>`` given as ``PATH_VARS`` are the
# variables which contain install destinations.  For each of them the macro will
# create a helper variable ``PACKAGE_<var...>``.  These helper variables must be
# used in the ``FooConfig.cmake.in`` file for setting the installed location.
# They are calculated by ``configure_package_config_file`` so that they are
# always relative to the installed location of the package.  This works both for
# relative and also for absolute locations.  For absolute locations it works
# only if the absolute location is a subdirectory of ``INSTALL_PREFIX``.
#
# If the ``INSTALL_PREFIX`` argument is passed, this is used as base path to
# calculate all the relative paths.  The ``<path>`` argument must be an absolute
# path.  If this argument is not passed, the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`
# variable will be used instead.  The default value is good when generating a
# FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the install tree.  When
# generating a FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the build tree this
# option should be used.
#
# By default ``configure_package_config_file`` also generates two helper macros,
# ``set_and_check()`` and ``check_required_components()`` into the
# ``FooConfig.cmake`` file.
#
# ``set_and_check()`` should be used instead of the normal ``set()`` command for
# setting directories and file locations.  Additionally to setting the variable
# it also checks that the referenced file or directory actually exists and fails
# with a ``FATAL_ERROR`` otherwise.  This makes sure that the created
# ``FooConfig.cmake`` file does not contain wrong references.
# When using the ``NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO``, this macro is not generated
# into the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file.
#
# ``check_required_components(<package_name>)`` should be called at the end of
# the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file if the package supports components.  This macro
# checks whether all requested, non-optional components have been found, and if
# this is not the case, sets the ``Foo_FOUND`` variable to ``FALSE``, so that
# the package is considered to be not found.  It does that by testing the
# ``Foo_<Component>_FOUND`` variables for all requested required components.
# When using the ``NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO`` option, this macro is
# not generated into the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file.
#
# For an example see below the documentation for
# :command:`write_basic_package_version_file()`.
#
# Generating a Package Version File
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#
# .. command:: write_basic_package_version_file
#
#  Create a version file for a project::
#
#     write_basic_package_version_file(<filename>
#                                      [VERSION <major.minor.patch>]
#                                      COMPATIBILITY <AnyNewerVersion|SameMajorVersion|ExactVersion> )
#
#
# Writes a file for use as ``<package>ConfigVersion.cmake`` file to
# ``<filename>``.  See the documentation of :command:`find_package()` for
# details on this.
#
# ``<filename>`` is the output filename, it should be in the build tree.
# ``<major.minor.patch>`` is the version number of the project to be installed.
#
# If no ``VERSION`` is given, the :variable:`PROJECT_VERSION` variable is used.
# If this hasn't been set, it errors out.
#
# The ``COMPATIBILITY`` mode ``AnyNewerVersion`` means that the installed
# package version will be considered compatible if it is newer or exactly the
# same as the requested version.  This mode should be used for packages which
# are fully backward compatible, also across major versions.
# If ``SameMajorVersion`` is used instead, then the behaviour differs from
# ``AnyNewerVersion`` in that the major version number must be the same as
# requested, e.g.  version 2.0 will not be considered compatible if 1.0 is
# requested.  This mode should be used for packages which guarantee backward
# compatibility within the same major version.
# If ``ExactVersion`` is used, then the package is only considered compatible if
# the requested version matches exactly its own version number (not considering
# the tweak version).  For example, version 1.2.3 of a package is only
# considered compatible to requested version 1.2.3.  This mode is for packages
# without compatibility guarantees.
# If your project has more elaborated version matching rules, you will need to
# write your own custom ``ConfigVersion.cmake`` file instead of using this
# macro.
#
# Internally, this macro executes :command:`configure_file()` to create the
# resulting version file.  Depending on the ``COMPATIBLITY``, either the file
# ``BasicConfigVersion-SameMajorVersion.cmake.in`` or
# ``BasicConfigVersion-AnyNewerVersion.cmake.in`` is used.  Please note that
# these two files are internal to CMake and you should not call
# :command:`configure_file()` on them yourself, but they can be used as starting
# point to create more sophisticted custom ``ConfigVersion.cmake`` files.
#
# Example Generating Package Files
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#
# Example using both :command:`configure_package_config_file` and
# ``write_basic_package_version_file()``:
#
# ``CMakeLists.txt``:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    set(INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR include/ ... CACHE )
#    set(LIB_INSTALL_DIR lib/ ... CACHE )
#    set(SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR etc/foo/ ... CACHE )
#    ...
#    include(CMakePackageConfigHelpers)
#    configure_package_config_file(FooConfig.cmake.in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfig.cmake
#                                  INSTALL_DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/Foo/cmake
#                                  PATH_VARS INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR)
#    write_basic_package_version_file(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfigVersion.cmake
#                                     VERSION 1.2.3
#                                     COMPATIBILITY SameMajorVersion )
#    install(FILES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfig.cmake ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfigVersion.cmake
#            DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/Foo/cmake )
#
# ``FooConfig.cmake.in``:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    set(FOO_VERSION x.y.z)
#    ...
#    @PACKAGE_INIT@
#    ...
#    set_and_check(FOO_INCLUDE_DIR "@PACKAGE_INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR@")
#    set_and_check(FOO_SYSCONFIG_DIR "@PACKAGE_SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR@")
#
#    check_required_components(Foo)
